  • I think that makes ...

    I think that makes a Bach "interpretation" interpretable. The ability to add, subtract, or change notes and voices. Bach left tons of sections open for opinion. In fact, when he taught musicians, he didn't teach them crap until they proved they were able to improvise.

    I disagree. I think the voice is the best part, at least in this recording. The strings are way to heavy and syrupy, the tempo is too slow, and they used way too many players, or layered the recording too many times. Bach used very small orchestras. It should be crisp, you should be able to distinguish every instrument.

    I see why you say that, but I like it. It offers a difference, something to connect to. Especially since the strings are just repeating throughout the piece.

  • Zion hört die ...

    Zion hört die Wächter singen,
    Das Herz tut ihr vor Freuden springen,
    Sie wachet und steht eilend auf.
    Ihr Freund kommt vom Himmel prächtig,
    Von Gnaden stark, von Wahrheit mächtig,
    Ihr Licht wird hell, ihr Stern geht auf.
    Nun komm, du werte Kron,
    Herr Jesu, Gottes Sohn!
    Hosianna!
    Wir folgen all
    Zum Freudensaal
    Und halten mit das Abendmahl.

    In my humble opinion, the vocal line is not needed. Its like putting loads of makeup on the face of a beautiful woman.
